Mission Statement

We are dedicated to improving the lives of stray, owned and abandoned companion animals in Saginaw County, Michigan.

​

Spay & Neuter Assistance

We believe that No Birth is the first step to No Kill. Our organization works diligently to reduce the number of homeless and unwanted animals by providing low‑ or no‑cost spay and neuter services.

There are currently no veterinarians in Saginaw County who adjust spay/neuter fees based on income, nor are there any low‑cost clinics. Many families simply cannot afford these procedures at any price. More than 18,600 households in Saginaw County live below the poverty level and own at least one pet—we are their safety net.

 

Trap‑Neuter‑Return (TNR) for Community Cats

TNR is the most humane and effective method for addressing cat overpopulation.

We humanely trap community cats, transport them to a veterinary clinic for spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, and medical care, and then return them to their outdoor home—typically a caretaker’s yard. TNR ends the breeding cycle, improves the cats’ quality of life, and prevents future litters.

Kittens and friendly adult cats are placed into our adoption program and never returned outdoors.

​

Rescue & Rehabilitation

We rescue the most seriously neglected, suffering, homeless, and abandoned animals—often those left behind when people move away. True to our name, we are always A Humane Society.

Animals in our care receive:

• Emotional and physical rehabilitation in foster homes

• Comprehensive medical treatment for injuries and illness

• Testing for HW/FIV/FeLV

• Spay/neuter surgery

• Vaccinations

• Full recovery before adoption

Adoption fees:

• $50 for cats and kittens

• $125 for dogs and puppies

Because the animals we rescue are often extremely weak or neglected, our average cost of care is approximately $650 per cat and $1150 per dog from intake to adoption.

​

Pet Food & Supply Assistance

We provide free pet food and supplies to households experiencing financial hardship. We understand and respect the deep bond between people and their animals—especially for those who rely on their pets for companionship, stability, and emotional support during difficult times.
